Car Tip

You've got jumper cables...right? Jumper cables have always been a staple in my vehicles, even when said vehicles are newish or with low mileage. You never know when you can do someone a kindness by using cables to jump start their car battery.  
Since April, I've run the car battery down twice; stupid mistake but it happens. The first time, was at the Pruitt's fire and Ashley, using my jumper cables, gave me a jump. The second time, after lunch out and in a pouring rain, a kind gentleman gave me a jump using the Stanley tool pictured above.
He advised, "If a woman drives a car, she needs one of these babies!" He then told me how unsafe the world was, suppose it was after dark and I was on the side of the road, etc. Little does he know, I'm so seldom out after dark, it's almost considered a miracle when dark finds me not home! 

There are several very fine features...this booster has a plug to charge or use a phone, GPS, etc. as well as a USB port...although I'm not sure what a USB port does...? smile

There's a light which can be twisted and aimed to either side, up or down.

On the back, an air hose and gauge allows for a tire to be pumped up. 
All in all, this is an amazing tool and less than $100 US. Within a week, I purchased one at Lowe's for around $80, not including tax, and it's been in my vehicle ever since. Each month, I top off the charge to ensure it's always in working order if and when it's needed. 
Almost the best thing? It's American made in New Britain, Connecticut!
